Now for Li Guoying, a decision must be made immediately.

Is it a run or a fight?

If you want to run, you must not be hesitant at all. If you want to fight, the same is true. The military and legal team must be ordered to step forward and kill the fleeing Qing soldiers immediately. You must not tolerate them.

Once the collapse is enlarged, even the gods can no longer control it.

All the pressure was pressed on Li Guoying's shoulders, and he needed to make a decision in a very short time.

If it is too late, it will be too late.

Li Guoying's heart was very complicated.

If he runs away, he is a little unwilling to accept it. If he doesn't run away, he is worried that the situation will be out of control and the troops will be lost here.

In the end, the conservative mentality still gained the upper hand, and Li Guoying ordered a retreat.

At least this will not be overwhelmed by the people you are rushing to.

It can be said that Li Guoying made the right decision at the right time.

If he runs, he can at least retreat to Hanzhong City to continue to defend.

The situation is too big and there is nothing unacceptable to it before returning.

And this is not good news for Feng Shuangli.

If he could not eat the main force of the Qing army in one bite, it would mean that it would be difficult for him to take Hanzhong.

If you can't take Hanzhong, no matter how many Tartars he kills, it will be useless.

Because he led his troops to the north because he was angry.

If you go back in shame in the end, you will definitely be ridiculed by Bai Wenxuan.

This is something that Feng Shuangli could not accept.

A real man stands in the world just to have a breath.

No matter what, he will win this tone.

"Order the pursuit, don't let a Tartar run away!"

Feng Shuangli not only won but also won the battle!

He wanted to take Hanzhong in this to prove it to Bai Wenxuan, and his decision was correct.

...

...

It is not difficult to pursue the enemy's defeated troops. Because the enemy has already shined his back to you.

Especially for cavalry, what the Ming army had to do when there was a speed bonus was to reap their lives as much as possible.

The fleeing Qing soldiers did not have any desire to resist. They tried their best to move their legs and wanted to run faster.

There is no need to run faster than the Ming army, as long as you run faster than the companions.

In this way, the Ming army's horizontal sword would slash on their companions, not on themselves.

This is what the so-called "death fellow Taoists do not die" means.

The Ming army no longer knew how many Qing soldiers had been cut. They even had their swords rolled up, and they had to pursue a more efficient way.

They chose to make a bloody cut on the back of the Qing soldiers instead of killing each other immediately.

Then they will kill other Qing soldiers.

The bloody cut they opened was enough for the Qing soldiers to die due to excessive blood loss, and it can be said to be a manifestation of the pursuit of efficiency.

The Qing soldiers fell one by one, but the Ming army had no intention of stopping and continued to chase the people under the leadership of Feng Shuangli.

They no longer remember how long they had chased after them until they vaguely saw Hanzhong City.

The moment when Li Guoying led his troops to open the city gate, Feng Shuangli looked as if dead.

It was too late for him to lead his troops to rush over at such a long distance.

Li Guoying could have brought the main force back to the city calmly and then closed the city gate without hesitation.

These defeated soldiers had no value to Li Guoying, so it would be better if they didn't want them.

In this way, the pressure was thrown to Feng Shuangli.

So what if he kills these defeated soldiers completely? Isn’t there any way to deal with the strong city of Hanzhong?

Instead of returning from frustration, it is better to take the initiative to evacuate while the food and grass are not exhausted.

If the food is really cut off, it will be a situation where the sky collapses and the earth is broken.

By then, even gods will be hard to save.

Although this decision was difficult, Feng Shuangli still had to make it.

Staying in Hanzhong means chronic death. At this time, there is still a chance to retreat to Sichuan.

"Retreat!"

Feng Shuangli clenched his fists and said unwillingly.

...

...

After Li Guoying fled back to Hanzhong City, he collapsed on the chair of the Governor's Office.

This is too dangerous, right? He was almost caught up.

Four times the strength of the Ming army is so powerful that it looks like a ghost. If it were anyone who could not bear it, he would not be able to bear it.

The most important thing is that the Qing army suffered serious losses after this war.

Although there should be no big problem in defending the city, it will have a great impact on Li Guoying's layout.

If you want to be separatist, military strength is the most important thing.

If there is no food, it is really a bit troublesome if there is no soldier.

Conscription is a way, but it is impossible to train a new army into a veteran who kills without blinking an eye without a blink of an eye.

Li Guoying felt very painful as if she had been sliced ​​off a few pieces of meat.

Feng Shuangli, the god-killing Feng, remember you, the dog thief! This governor will definitely ask you to return it twice as much one day!

...

...

After making the final attempt, Feng Shuangli still chose to withdraw his troops.

Even though I was very unwilling to accept it, there was no way.

And the one who feels more uncomfortable than Feng Shuangli is Zhao Sanhu.

As the guide of the Ming army, the defeat of the Ming army means that he must follow the Ming army.

If you stay, you will definitely be retaliated by the Qing army.

Feng Shuangli also understood this.

Zhao Sanhu has done everything he can do.

It was not Zhao Sanhu's fault that the Ming army failed to take Hanzhong.

Feng Shuangli was responsible for Zhao Sanhu, so he could not leave him behind.

Fortunately, Zhao Sanhu was alone and had no worries.

After leaving, he left.

According to Zhao Sanhu's suggestion, it is best for the Ming army to return the same route.

First of all, the Qing army did not know about this route, and it was relatively safe. It could bypass the Qing army outside Hanzhong and withdraw directly to Sichuan.

Secondly, the Ming army buried a lot of food on the original road and marked it.

You can also dig out the grain by returning along the original path.

It would be a pity if I gave up all of them.

Feng Shuangli also thought Zhao Sanhu's suggestion made sense, so he readily adopted it.

The grain has been buried for ten days, but it should not have deteriorated yet. I can definitely continue eating after digging it out.

Now Feng Shuangli has also been open-minded, and the most urgent task is to bring this army back to Sichuan safely.

As for whether he will be ridiculed by Bai Wenxuan, it is not a question he needs to consider at the moment.

If you can get along, you can get along. If you can't get along, Feng Shuangli doesn't want to force herself.

At worst, he could write a memorial to the emperor and ask the emperor to transfer him elsewhere.

No matter from which perspective, this request is reasonable.

It is not advisable for generals to stay in one place for too long. Feng Shuangli has been in Sichuan for a long time, so it is reasonable to change places.

Perhaps the time for the Northern Expedition has not yet come. But through this attempt, at least Feng Shuangli proved one thing, that is, the Qing army is far from as difficult as imagined.

As long as His Majesty shows the momentum of the Eastern Expedition, I believe that the Northern Expedition will surely succeed.

However, after Feng Shuangli was frustrated this time, Feng Shuangli was destined to be the main force of the court's main force in the next Northern Expedition.
